The number of people seeking unemployment aid changed little last week, a sign that hiring may continue at a modest pace. The Labor Department says that weekly unemployment benefit applications dipped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 370,000. Applications have fluctuated around that level for the past month. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, is also 370,000. Applications spiked in April to 392,000, a five-month high, then fell back. They have leveled off in May.
